Worst Sounding Cars

Had to laugh at this. One gets criticized for fart sounds, and it's not an F8X. Rigged. Enjoy!

I’m thinking the latest staff through the R&T revolving door didn’t know what pedal to push on the M2. But I do agree on the WRX (having owned a couple of early ones): The flatulence of the latest WRX is easily matched by an over-rich, 50-horsepower Evinrude outboard with a broken exhaust.

Focus ST, Focus RS, Mustang Ecoboot are also the worst sounding cars these days. And I also agree with the new WRX, sounds like ass.

Did they get some random Wordpress blogger to make this list? Ford GT has one of the best sounding V6’s....the M2 is on the list, but the M3/4 isn’t? “Fake news.”

Surprised the Porsche Macan is not on there. Seriously sounds like a shart every time it shifts.

Abarth 500. Best noise from stock turbo four hands down.

I don't find this list to be accurate since it's missing our cars. How can the f8x not be on that list. Especially after we add the ricey burble firecracker noise.

Someone save me the trouble. Was the 911 (or anything Porsche makes) on there?

Damn, I hope not. Having said that Porsche does have a bit of a different exhaust note especially the air cooled models.....I have a Fister (god I love that name) exhaust on mine and it sounds pretty damn kool if I do say so myself.

I've always loved the sound of the Toyota 2jz-gte.

Good thing everyone has their own opinion. Focus st sounds fine, the rs sounds pissed off. Now the mustang I will give you, it is weird hearing Honda noises out of a mustang.

I had a Focus ST with 3 different catbacks and 2 different downpipes and it all sounded atrocious.

New turbo non V8 cars all sound like doodoo. Old school glory days of good sounding FI engines are gone. FD, Supra, R34 all sound so good.
